A lot can happen in a day. Harry Potter defeated Voldemort in a battle that lasted a full twenty-four hours. Even more can happen in a month. In a month, Harry Potter discovered that the reason Lord Voldemort seemed so invincible was because he split his soul six times. As time rolls on, more and more events happen. Within one year, four seventeen year old wizards destroyed four of the six Horcruxes binding Voldemort to the earth.
And within ten years of that, the heroes of the Wizarding World had established families. But while the heroes were rebuilding their lives, the Ministry of Magic had to rebuild as well. Kingsley Shackle bolt was a quite able Minister--however, after a few years, he retired. He was growing older, and wanted someone who could make better choices than he to take the seat of power. From Kingsley’s successor and on, the Wizarding World slipped farther into chaos.
And in all the chaos that suddenly seemed that have sprung up after the dark lord's defeat a new sort of evil has taken root in the world. everyone in the wizarding world had thought they'd seen the last of the Lestrange's when Molly Weasley killed her cousin Bellatrix to save her daughter from her deranged cousin, but that wasn't the case. While in Azkaban, Bellatrix had one son who despite having disappeared into the ranks and ranks of Death Eaters, he aims to keep the world in the chaos it's found itself in.
Everything eventually fell out of balance. The Wizarding World was at war within itself. And yet, there was still a bigger problem. The Muggles of London are not idiots, as most witches and wizards believe. After a few years of peace and now the sudden uprising, the Muggles have been hearing the strange rumors. They heard that the Minister of Magic was being replaced again. And the only thing that registered in their minds was “magic.” The easy way out would be to cast memory charms, right? Wrong. The Ministry is falling apart, and no longer upholds much authority. Not only are the Muggles prying into the lives of magical folk--some are even protesting through violent means, out of fear, jealousy, and greed--but power- hungry wizards are all competing to become the next Minister with whichever means necessary, including violence and foul play. What with the Muggle attacks, and the new leaders rising, the world as we know it is beginning to fall away. Peace and harmony have disappeared, replaced with uncertainty and fear.
Muggles fear magic, or want magical solutions. Wizards and witches can't do a thing to stop them, for fear of actually hurting them.
Welcome to Darkest Before Dawn, we're a beginner to intermediate post-potter rpg set roughly ten years after DH.
Beware some of the site content can get rated R. You'd be wise to look at the topic descriptions for a rating.
We have a LOT of positions for both canon character as well as originals. Also feel free to play some of the lesser known canons if you'd like to do some expanding. The skies the limit.
We're currently accepting both original and canons, though we'd love to see more of our CANONS to go first.
